o Classic - Blocks (2024-05-11):

§ There were 116 hits in MHD for the query “blcodes contains 1GF”.

§ Of those 116 hits, around 5 had 3 dots.

§ 5/116 = 0.043101…

§ This means that only about 4% of the Classic MHD corpus of xa’s had more than 2 dots.

o All - Blocks (2024-05-11:

§ There were 138 hits in MHD for the query “blcodes contains 1GF”).

§ Of those 138 hits, around 17 had 3 dots, and 2 even had 4 dots.

§ 19/138 = 0.13768…

§ This means that more than 13% of the total MHD corpus of xa’s had more than 2 dots, which is a lot higher than I would have expected, but many of these appear to have been Codex forms.
